AK DSC Project SOC stock computation analysis Gap-filling and SOC computations for layers/horizons comprising the Alaska Deep Soil Carbon Project 1043 1043
USGS_S3C new This dataset is derived from the USGS ‘S3C’ (Site-specific soil C) database. The database is a pedon-based, site-specific SOC database for the MS River Basin Carbon Project. The database contains data from a variety of sources described in the Buell et al. (2004) USGS Open File Report. Note that all data in this dataset that originated from the USDA-NRCS NCSCD in 2001 have been omitted; these data are superseded by those acquired directly from the USDA-NRCS NCSCD in 2011. 944 1394

NRCS Sept/2014 migration Pedon-level soils data from the NRCS-Soil Survey Lab, National Cooperative Soil Characterization Database (version date: 11 September 2014). Sites are distributed across all 50 states, with some data also originating from U.S. Territories and foreign countries. 14723 58233

Data Contributions

TEMPLATE (data_name_sub identifier)

The TEMPLATE dataset is cited or uncited. This data set is located in the United States and has XXX layer-level observations and YYY profile-level observations of ZZZ unique latitude-longitude locations in the layer-level table and AAA in the profile-level table.

To use this section remove the code chunk eval arguments and set the current_dataset to the right identifier.

## Warning: Removed 81 rows containing non-finite values (stat_bin).

## Warning: Removed 32 row(s) containing missing values (geom_path).

Fixed issues

Below is a list of know issues that were addressed between ISCN 3 and ISCN 3.3 + Repeated information on soil carbon stocks was removed from the layer and profile information of the data set. + There are no duplicate rows that needed to be removed, however, the soil carbon stock columns gap filled by ISCN were removed by ISCN3.5 cleaning. + The site note in the data set profile was expanded to a formal citation and added to the ISCN bib file. + Note that data recorded as “Unknown” or “?” was left as is and NOT shifted to an NA value. + In profile, the ISCN SOC to 1m computation rows were removed, getting rid of duplicate data

Fixed issues

Below is a list of know issues that were addressed between ISCN 3 and ISCN 3.3 + Rows weren’t removed from ISCN3 because there were no duplicated entries within the layer-level and profile-level information. + Columns were removed from ISCN3 where information was not available throughout the data set. + Unclear information on vegetation remains in the vegclass_local section of the layer-level and profile-level information. + This data set required the use of a map centered around Alaska. + In profile, the ISCN SOC to 1m computation rows were removed, getting rid of duplicate data

## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
## Warning: Removed 200 rows containing non-finite values (stat_bin).

## Warning: Removed 56 row(s) containing missing values (geom_path).

Fixed issues

  • In profile, the ISCN SOC to 1m computation rows were removed, getting rid of duplicate data.
  • The layer tables were adjusted to reassign the value “NA” to a column with “?”.
  • The clean layer and clean profile table were checked for accuracy of information.
  • A citation was added to the bibliography file.
  • Four columns were removed from the original dataset that remove the soc columns from both the dataset_layer table and dataset_profile table.

## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
## Warning: Removed 704 rows containing non-finite values (stat_bin).

Fixed issues

  • Half of the rows (234) of dataset_layer were removed from ISCN3 because they were repetitive entries from ISCN stock computation.
  • 3 columns of dataset_layer were removed from ISCN3 because they were determined using soc.
  • 17 rows of dataset_profile were removed from ISCN3 because they were filled using ISCN stock computation.
  • 5 columns of dataset_profile were removed from ISCN 3 because they were determined using soc.
  • Values in column country (country) were reassigned to “united States” in the dataset_layer and dataset_profile tables because it was the known location of the collection state.
  • Values in the “hzn” column of the dataset_layer table were reassigned to an NA character from “?”, a nonspecific character.
  • Ggplot maps were modified to ensure datasets accurately focused on Southeastern United States.
  • Cryptic site notes in dataset_profile table were resolved to contain full citations.

Future issues

  • Fix remaining SOC column in Dataset_layer table?

## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Fixed issues

Below is a list of know issues that were addressed between ISCN 3 and ISCN 3.3

  • ISCN3 removed repeated information in citations, which was corrected and filled for ISCN3.5.
  • ISCN3 also filled in the soil carbon stocks where bulk density and organic carbon was provided, this was removed for ISCN3.5.
  • This data set was set in Alaska, so the Alaska Location code from the Template was used instead of the generic.

Future issues

  • Find out where temperature and precipitation data is (currently not on ISCN)

## Warning: Removed 1664 rows containing non-finite values (stat_bin).

## Warning: Removed 2878 row(s) containing missing values (geom_path).

Fixed issues

  • Repeated information on soil carbon stocks was removed from the layer and profile information of the data set.
  • There are no duplicate rows that needed to be removed, however, the soil carbon stock columns gap filled by ISCN were removed by ISCN3.5 cleaning.
  • In addition, the site note in the data set profile was expanded to a formal citation and added to the ISCN bib file.

Fixed issues

Below is a list of known issues that were addressed between ISCN 3 and ISCN 3.3 for the University of Michigan Biological Station Forest Accelerated Succession Experiment (UMBS_FASET) data set.

  • The UMBS FASET data set is located in the United States and has 405 layer-level observations and 137 profile-level observations of 1 unique latitude-longitude location.
  • ISCN SOC computation soil organic carbon calculations were removed and duplicate rows deleted.
  • Values in the hzn column of the layer table were reassigned to an NA character from “?”, a nonspecific character.
  • Values in country (country) column were reassigned to “United States” in the layer and profile tables because it was the known location of the collection state.

Future issues

  • Citation practices were initially incompatible with CC-BY license for ISCN3; contacting data providers about modifying release for ISCN4
  • Data is unpublished, and references “100 yrs of research.” Revisit in ISCN 4. Check and see if data is still being collected at this research site
